Nathaniel Woodard founded an educational system 'firmly grounded in
the Christian faith', and the establishment in 1874 of the first
Woodard girls' school lies at the heart of his legacy. However, the
role of one remarkable woman in securing this legacy has until now
been obscured. Eliza Lowe and the Founding of Woodard Schools for
Girls is her untold story. Drawing on scholarly articles, newspaper
reports, letters from pupils, census records, and local and family
archival material, Thompson describes life in Eliza Lowe's school,
from swimming in the sea to politics at breakfast and competitions
for an 'amiability' prize. While discussions of Nathaniel Woodard
and 19th-century girls' education provide context, Eliza's own
letters reveal a woman of wit, curiosity and humanitarian feeling.
Her achievements will inspire students of women's history and
girls' education, and encourage those who believe that religion
enhances education, while her lasting legacy will interest both
former pupils and those who continue in the Woodard tradition
today.
